TE AMO
The Queenstown alpine elopement
TAKE YOUR WEDDING DAY TO magnificent HEIGHTS
There's something pretty incredible about climbing into a helicopter on your wedding day and leaving everything else behind.
Exchange your vows high above the lake, surrounded by mountains and complete seclusion, then take the time to explore, celebrate and soak up the fact that you just got married here. We know the locations, the light, the weather and the people who make these experiences happen. You choose the mountain. We'll take care of everything else.
YOUR TE AMO EXPERIENCE

Your day captured in the relaxed, natural style we're known for, by photographers who know our locations, our light and our elopements inside out. Plus a curated sneak peek within two working days.
-
Take to the skies for an exclusive helicopter flight and one-hour alpine landing at your chosen mountain location.
It's more than simply getting you somewhere beautiful. The flight, the views, stepping out onto the mountain together and having time to explore and celebrate are all part of the experience.

FIND YOUR
elopement location
We've spent years flying into these mountains, photographing them through every season and discovering what makes each location special.
Snow-covered peaks. Golden tussock. Hidden alpine lakes. Huge views over Lake Wakatipu.
We'll help you choose your landing based on the season, the light, the experience you want and, of course, what Queenstown's weather has planned for us that day.
Some of our most spectacular alpine locations are already included in your Te Amo experience.
The hardest part might just be choosing one.
Lake Erskin
Big Geordie

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Both include the complete Te Amo experience and your private helicopter flight. The additional hour simply gives your day more room to breathe , allowing time for getting-ready photos and a first look, an additional ground location, a ground ceremony with guests, or a second alpine landing.
-
Absolutely. If you want to see a little more of Queenstown from above, an additional alpine landing can be added to your experience. Depending on the locations you choose, we may recommend adding extra photography time so your day still feels relaxed rather than rushed.
-
Of course. Additional helicopters can be arranged if you'd love your favourite people to join you on the mountain.
Another beautiful option is to hold your ceremony at one of our ground locations with your guests, before escaping to the mountains for a private helicopter adventure for just the two of you.
-
This is the fun part. We'll show you our favourite alpine locations and help you choose based on the scenery you love, the season, flight time and the kind of experience you're dreaming of.
We've spent years working in these mountains, so we'll guide you towards the locations we think will work beautifully for your day. You cannot go wrong.
-
Queenstown's alpine weather can be unpredictable, but you're in experienced hands.
We intentionally limit the number of elopements we take on so we have greater flexibility when the weather decides to do its thing. We'll keep a close eye on conditions, work directly with our helicopter team and talk you through the best options for your day.
All flying and final landing locations are ultimately at the pilot's discretion for safety. If your helicopter flight can't go ahead due to weather, the helicopter portion of your package will be reimbursed, less any applicable ground-location fees.
-
Weather conditions can sometimes mean your preferred alpine location isn't accessible, even when helicopters are still able to fly.
Your pilot will always make the final call on where it's safe to land, and we'll do everything we can to get you somewhere equally incredible. If we're unable to reach a location you've paid an additional fee for, we'll reimburse the difference.
-
Videography can be added to your Te Amo experience if you'd love to relive the movement, voices and little moments of your day as well as having them captured in photographs.
Or, if you'd love photography and film to be a bigger part of your day, take a look at our Aroha experience.
-
Very little, that's kind of the point.
You'll arrange your flights to Queenstown, your accommodation and somewhere fabulous to celebrate afterwards.
We'll take care of your elopement.

“Our experience with Queenstown Elopements was nothing short of incredible. From the very beginning, the entire process was completely stress-free. There was no overwhelming planning, no endless decisions. I simply filled out their questionnaire, shared our preferences, and they worked their magic.”
